    I really like the looks of the five round lights.
    red/white/red/white/red would be my choice. Did anyone try to make the three red lights be three top lights - like the rear raptor lights - via a pwm modul? And full brightness for brake lights.

    I seen you made one with an antenna on top- what about making one with a wiring seal on top so that wiring could be run to the roof rack and then to lights (without drilling a hole through the roof skin:boink:)?

    I’m putting together a comprehensive list of all models and options..2nd and 3rd gen. I will be opening up orders for every model ONE WEEK ONLY. THEY WILL BE MADE TO ORDER.

    You could just use the NMO version and use it as a wire pass though instead of antenna.

    That's reasonable, at least I'll have a week to catch it and decide instead of the usual 3 minutes.

    Would love a Baja designs one but am rarely on the forum any way I can pre-order or get a notification when you open it up? Had notifications set on the site for the dome lights but never got notified that they were in stock.. Which may be true because your products are awesome but don't want to kiss out.Thank you

    Sweet can’t wait to see the pics. Did you wire the bedlights to a switch or to the dome light?

    This sounds like ordering at Jack-in-the Box...

    I’ll take the Nacho Chicken Burger Egg Double Latte with the Special Sauce and Sprinkles?

    Are you gonna take orders from here? Or off your website? (If it's off your website would you mind posting another link to it? I know is somewhere in this post but I cant find it)

    Want to run wires up to the roof without holes? Light bar, Side lights, Solar panels, 2-way Radio Antennas?....

    This would definitely go well with the upTop Overland rack so we don't have to drill through the roof. Would it be possible to have a version of this with the camera spot too?

    Not to add to the semingly infinite versions of this but for those of us just looking for a good NMO mount, would a design that retains the OEM brake light but gives and NMO mount be possible?

    Yup, I already suggested it to them. Adding a CAM would be no problem.
    At this point I don't have anything that retains the stock brake light. The problem is mounting, there are no exposed screws to mount a brackt "OVER" the stock light. So it would have to be some type of sandwich plate between cab and OEM light. That involves dropping headliner, removing light bolts from the inside, etc. At that point might as well replace it with something superior
